Ingredients
- 3 cups Mixed nuts (unsalted)
- 3 tablespoons Butter (unsalted)
- 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
- 2 teaspoons Brown sugar (packed)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons Cayenne pepper (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once fully melted, stir in the Old Bay seasoning, brown sugar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is fully combined and fragrant.
Step 3
Place the mixed nuts in a large mixing bowl. Pour the butter and spice mixture over the nuts, and toss well to ensure all the nuts are evenly coated.
Step 4
Spread the coated nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the nuts are golden and aromatic. Be careful not to overcook, as nuts can burn quickly.
Step 6
Remove the nuts from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. As they cool, the coating will harden and become crispy.
Step 7
Once cooled, transfer the nuts to a serving bowl or an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to one week and enjoy!
